Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
• 2 cups freshly shredded fontina, gouda, gruyere or Swiss cheese
• 1 pound asparagus, ends cut off

Here's how you make it:

1. Put the puff pastry sheets on a baking pan. Sprinkle about 1 3/4 cup of the cheese all over the pastry. Line up the asparagus on top of the cheese. Top with the remaining cheese. (Some people like to peel asparagus. There's really no need, but if you prefer peel it.)
2. Bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden and puffed up. Serve immediately. If you want the top cheese to stay really gooey, bake the tart about 15 minutes and then top with the cheese. Continue baking another 10 minutes. Add some spice by sprinkling the tart with crushed red pepper flakes.
